"I knew this wall would be a winner even as you showed the draft versions to us - you've managed to pull off an excellent scan extension of the wing and sky, keeping with the painted texture and feel of the original scan. The cracked fresco texturing is a very nice touch. Brilliant stuff, a sure +fav with a giant pat on the back. Good job!" View

"Nice, soft, gentle and sweet. Excellent attention to detail. I like the way you made use of the doorways to fit so many characters in. Nearly a fav...
...but one flaw really spoils this wallpaper for me - the perspective / camera angle of parts of the wallpaper are not consistent with one another, so while looking at portions of the wall is very nice, the whole big picture looks somewhat disjointed - in particular the Kisa/Hiro/table part has very different vanishing points compared to the 'tunnel' effect of the doorways."

"When I first saw the thumb on the front page, I wondered what on earth this could be.
When I clicked through and saw category: futakoi alternative, everything became clear instantly.
Surely one of the better concepts I've seen lately, this does a great job of capturing the idylllic mood of the parts of the anime where the trio are just lounging around doing nothing.
Good job!" View

"Awesomeness. If you keep this up, the 'watercolor' challenge with shadow_dude should be no sweat. ^^
Just thought the bit of fence at the right seems a bit irregular; if it's supposed to continue from where the building ended, it's too big compared to the building. Other than that, great stuff. Keep it up!" View

"You score extra points for vectoring from a tiny source and going beyond the requirements to use a limited color scheme - army colors, no less! Love the angle, you did good changing it from the original. Only gripe is the way the text is repeated in the background - rather uniform, you could have perhaps staggered the lines so that the same letters don't form such obvious columns.
"I still don't know how you managed it - if I put this on my desktop, I'd have to seek orthopaedic help. >_<
In other news, your l33t vectoring rocks, as usual. Just how do you manage all those strands of hair flying all around? I'd be buried in a mess of layers and groups trying to do something like that. >_<
You kow, thinking back, the funniest part about this whole wall was when we couldn't decide what that stuff in the background was - shurbbery, hills, clouds... guess thick black smoke works best, after all. Love the angsty red/black color scheme.
Great job, especially considering you were rushed for time on this one." View

"
the vector of the ubildings isn't good..
On the contrary, I think the reduced-detail vector style worked out quite well, being able to capture the scene with much less. Excellent choice of characters to mimic the original cover, too. Great stuff!" View

"You get extra cookies for seamlessly using a movie background still from Kumo no Mukou! They have a distinct painted-looking style that are pretty hard to integrate with other anime/scans, but you've managed it. The addition of scenery outside the windows is pretty much seamless, and you've got Saber to fit in too, with the lighting and shadows. Only gripe is that she's perhaps a tad bit too saturated.
What can I say? Much kudos and a solid +fave. Good job!" View
